You say ' in pool there is no real luck'? I disagree. You can call it anything you wish, but I choose to call anything that happens by chance..... luck. Luck Definition & Meaning | Britannica Dictionary 1 : the things that happen to a person because of chance : the accidental way things happen...

I'm sure you know that it's nearly impossible to attempt a masse or jump shot without the tip hitting the bed of the table.

Well, I don't believe in karma (reincarnation) but there are consequences for peoples' actions.

Just because someone believes in fairies, doesn't mean they exist. I believe that luck exists and the only alternative is to believe that everything is predetermined and out of our hands. I also believe that God is in control but He allows us to live our lives pretty much the way we want. Our...

Can you name a third alternative?

I believe in luck. You're saying you don't believe in either. What then do you believe?

I didn't say that. You might want to read it again.

I posted a reply to you but I don't know if you were notified.

Your son has been playing long enough to know what feels good in his hands. I've been playing 60 years. About 30 years ago, when I was installing tables for a Brunswick dealership, I grabbed a Brunswick cue off one of our display racks and hit a few balls with it. I loved it, bought it, and it's...

I used that hustle also before I became a Christian.

I once had a conversation with a lady that had been attending a philosophy class. The subject of luck came up. She told me she didn't believe in luck. I explained to her that some things happen by chance and humans the world over choose to call it luck. She told me she didn't believe in chance...

It's just part of the game. I don't let it bother me anymore. If I play nine ball for money, my opponent has to play by my rules. Call the ball and pocket. Nine on the break doesn't win the game and is spotted. It eliminates a lot of slop.

You're talking about a hustler intentionally missing a shot and playing safe. I was talking about 'B' players that missed makeable shots and got lucky leaves in a tournament. Two entirely different situations.

Like antiques, a collectible pool cue is a luxury item. I heard that 60,000 small businesses have closed since the virus outbreak in 2019, and unfortunately, I think it's going to get worse.

While playing in a tournament at Starcher's Billiards in Akron, Ohio, I was matched up against a player that was far below my skill level. He missed a lot of shots, but practically every time he missed, the cue ball would be buried and I'd have to kick. He wasn't playing me safe. He didn't do it...

That's a great question. When the time comes, I'll let you know.

I once attempted a shot in a tournament. When the cue ball was a few inches from the object ball, it suddenly jumped into the air and off the table. On inspection, I saw that a small piece of plaster had fallen from the ceiling, landing on the path of the cue ball. My opponent insisted he had...

What if that 'Hail Mary' throw gets tapped back up in the air by three other players before it's caught?

I agree. I think anyone that studies 3 cushion billiards has a distinct advantage.
